The acceptance of the invitation of Jesus Christ is the beginning. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives power--the power to love and obey God and to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide us in the decisions we make. The struggle between faith and flesh can be hard, but with the Holy Spirit, we can make the right decisions. When we are faced with temptation, we can pray to God for guidance. In today's society, we can see almost anything on television and social media. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can resist the temptation to engage in sinful behavior. It's a matter of choice. I sincerely hope these biblical truths will help you live a rewarding Christian life.
